primary chain
I was out riding yesterday on Columbus day and during my ride I heard a squeaking noise that disappeared at highter RPM 2k+.....so I turned around and rode about 15 miles back home...mostly highway. I started to look the bike over and noticed the primary chain adjuster bolt was back out almost 9 threads!! and was very dirty. Over the weekend we rode to Gettysburg and around the battle fields and the bike was fine.
What would you do.....
-just adjust the primary chain and check fluid level?
-open the entire side and inspect everything?
OR since the bike is under warranty call the dealer and let them deal with it.
Bike a 2015 "72" that now has 4800 miles, bought new in June 2016.

If you do that, I would draw the dealer's attention to the problem when you next call by, to ensure they check it at your convenience. That is what a warranty is for!
